The settlement, as well as a former lake located nearby, both share the name "Fargher Lake".
Historyedit
The lake was originally named Hard Hack Swamp. Brothers Arthur Wellesly, Fredrick Daniel and Horatio Albert Fargher emigrated in the 1870s from their birthland, the Isle of Man, and settled for a while near the lake.
The lake and surrounding area was renamed Fargher Lake. The waters was drained sometime during the early 1960s[2] and the lake bed was then used for farming. In the 21st century, the lake bed contains blueberry fields.[citation needed]
